About this product

Product Information

One of computer gaming's biggest titles makes its return with the release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The classic story, which had players guiding a young prince through a trap-filled palace to save his beloved from marrying an evil vizier, has been updated with 3D graphics and new traps and puzzles. The story begins with the titular prince tricked by a vizier into using a mystical dagger to release the Sands of Time from an hourglass. With the help of an ally, players must right this wrong by recapturing the Sands of Time before the deceitful vizier can harness its power.

As players explore each room, from an ornate reception hall to an underground foundry, they will be able to perform a number of acrobatic moves to protect them from harm. As in previous games, cinematic cut-scenes help tell the story as the prince overcomes a number of deadly traps and enemies lurking inside the Persian palace. Developer Ubi Soft Montreal, best known for its work on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, has worked closely with the original game's creator Jordan Mechner for this new tale in the Prince of Persia series.

Defeat the Sand Creatures by using the Prince's powerful offensive attacks

I hate Xbox, I'll be honest, but this game is well worth it. I have sat down with this game and become absorbed in it immediately. The controls are not too difficult to master in a short period of time, and for once the Xbox controller doesn't feel awkward to use. I don't really have much more to say as I'm not a reviewer. If you want to know more about the game, visit IGN or something :) It's a good game, well worth the purchase, and it has the added bonus of the first two *original* games as unlockable features.

From what I can tell, this is the earliest of the Prince of Persia games and is to this point my favorite. You play as the acrobatic warrior who is known and is referred to as the Prince of Persia (or just Prince).
Battle through the game gathering the sands you let loose and use them to slow, stop, even rewind time! Spoiler: there are also hidden sections in the game where you can gather more health and become stronger!
